About the Libra horoscope

For Libra, Scorpio is the 2nd house of money and possessions, Capricorn the 4th house of home and roots, Aquarius the 5th house of romance and fun, Aries the 7th house of partners and Cancer the 10th house of career. A Moon in Aquarius tends to make a Libra day more playful and creative. In Cancer, attention drifts toward work and public standing.

Venus rules Libra just as it rules Taurus, but for Libra its aspects usually play out through people: balance in a partnership, fairness at work, the look and feel of your surroundings. Venus retrograde, which comes about every eighteen months, is commonly read as a time for Libra to reconsider commitments rather than rush into new ones.

As a cardinal air sign, Libra tends to feel slow planets in Aries, Cancer and Capricorn, which oppose or square your Sun. The Sun travels through Libra from around September 23 to October 22.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does Venus mean in a Libra horoscope?

Venus is Libra's ruling planet, so its aspects describe how harmony, attraction and fairness feel for you that day. The house Venus stands in shows which relationship or area it touches.

What is the Libra love horoscope today based on?

On the Moon or Venus moving through your 5th house, Aquarius, or your 7th, Aries, and on exact aspects involving Venus or Mars. When none of that is active, love is not the main theme of the day.

Why does Aries show up so often for Libra?

Aries is the sign opposite Libra and your 7th solar house. Planets there draw Libra's attention to partners, contracts and anyone who acts as your counterpart.

How is today's Libra horoscope different from tomorrow's?

Each date gets its own calculation. Tomorrow the Moon may sit in the next sign, an aspect may become exact or fade, so the house focus and the tone can change from one day to the next.
